Arsenal Women to call Emirates home for 2025/26 season

Arsenal Women will play all 11 of their Barclays Women’s Super League home fixtures at the Emirates Stadium in the upcoming 2025/26 season, marking a landmark moment for the reigning European champions and reaffirming the North London venue as their permanent WSL home.

The move comes after a successful 2024/25 campaign where the team hosted nine WSL matches at the Emirates, drawing an average crowd of 34,110. The highest turnout—56,748—was recorded in the emphatic 5-0 victory against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in February.

Head Coach Renee Slegers, who led the team to Champions League glory last season, hailed the announcement as a step towards deeper fan engagement. “From Boreham Wood to the Emirates, and across Europe, our supporters were with us every step of the way,” she said. “Next season, bringing every WSL game here means even more people can be part of this journey. This is only the beginning.”

While all WSL home games will be staged at the Emirates, Arsenal’s UWCL League Phase fixtures will return to the Mangata Pay UK Stadium in Borehamwood, a familiar ground for the club. Subject to qualification, knockout rounds in Europe’s top competition will be hosted at the Emirates. The Mangata Pay UK Stadium will also host all domestic cup fixtures, including those in the Women’s FA Cup and the FA Women’s League Cup.

With over 415,000 tickets sold across all matches last season—a 20% rise over 2023/24—the club continues to witness record growth in women's football attendance. “This is another bold step in the evolution of our women’s team,” said Arsenal Managing Director Richard Garlick.
